Product Description

<div>I’m on top of the world,” shouted NBA Defensive Player of the Year Kevin Garnett, after the Boston Celtics clinched their league-leading 17th NBA championship over their archrival, the Kobe Bryant-led Los Angeles Lakers.<P>In <I>Top of the World</I>, Peter May chronicles the remarkable 2008 championship run of the team in greentheir first in over twenty years.

May charts the pivotal moments: from losing out on the Number 1 and Number 2 pick in last year’s draft lottery to swinging trades for future Hall of Famers Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen; from winning Game 4 of the Finals with one of the greatest come-from-behind victories in NBA Finals history to capping off their remarkable season with another championship banner.</div>
